[SOLVED] Rhythmbox: Unable to activate plugin Audio CD Recorder

Hi,
  I'm trying to use Rhythmbox on my EeePC. The laptop not surprisingly does not have an optical drive. When I'm starting Rythmbox, I always get an error:
Plugin Error: Unable to activate plugin Audio CD Recorder
I tried the obvious: check the Edit/Plugins tab, but couldn't see any Audio CD Recorder plugin at all... Does anyone have a hint how to get rid of this message? It's pretty annoying every time when I start the program.
  Cheers!

Asked the gnome guys about it in this bug report, but they tell me that even if the Audio CD Recorder is a plugin is a plugin, it is not, so it's not listed in the plugin list because no sane person would want to turn it off, but if I want to turn it off I should use gconf.....
Is it just me, or does it really not make sense not to be able to turn off a plugin?
Okay, that might be a philosophical question (and I almost started to like gnome, but not very sure anymore), from the practical side there are other issues...
I poked around a little bit, and the problem is that the cd-burner plugin is compiled with brasero dependency, but i don't have brasero. It is listed as an optional dependency, but if I don't install it (on the Eee every MB counts...) then there's this error every single time. In the bug-report they say that i can turn it off somehow with gconf, but being an XFCE user, I'm not sure about that, and it seems I have to install some extra software for that as well...
So what would be possible solution:
1) recompile package every time for myself from ABS
2) install brasero and live with it
3) try to figure out gconf under xfce
4) figure out how to package rhythmbox differently, seprating core and plugins so that there are no broken dependencies...
Personally: 2 and 3 are very much "do not want". The 1 - if have to then it will happen. The best would be 4, though at the moment I don't have a good idea how should that one work, not to break other people's system... But it seems I'm not the only one with this problem either, so fixing this would make sense....

  • [SOLVED] rhythmbox problems (0.13.2-1)

    I just did an -Syu and rhythmbox updated fine, so i go to restart it... now there is nothing related to last.fm anymore?
    I choose rhythmbox because it had a built in last.fm scrobbler and the ability to stream tracks from your personal radio (same as lastfm-client package, just without qt libs).
    Now, whether thats an upstream thing going on and they decided to remove it (???) i can't see why. But alot of other plugins like cover art, fm radio, and etc.. don't want to work.
    Message box with:
    Plugin Error
    Unable to activate plugin Cover art
    And terminal output:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/artdisplay/__init__.py", line 32, in <module>
    from CoverArtDatabase import CoverArtDatabase
    File "/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/artdisplay/CoverArtDatabase.py", line 37, in <module>
    from LastFMCoverArtSearch import LastFMCoverArtSearch
    File "/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/artdisplay/LastFMCoverArtSearch.py", line 30, in <module>
    import gconf
    ImportError: No module named gconf
    (rhythmbox:4426): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not load plugin artdisplay
    (rhythmbox:4426): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Error, impossible to activate plugin 'Cover art'
    $ pacman -Q gconf
    gconf 2.32.0-1
    How to fix, and how can i enable last.fm player/scrobbling support again?
    (I would just switch to banshee, but for some odd reason it complains about needing to be a last.fm subscriber to stream your own radio... when you clearly do not. )

  • [SOLVED]Sound issue - xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers.

    When I booted this morning the computer showed that arts died and blabla messages, and when I started Amarok I got this nasty error that I occasionally get when I am not in the 'audio' group:
    xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers.
    But I am in the audio group and everything used to work yesterday
    I will post logs and versions later, just to see if it is some common issue or not.

    Seems like there is a problem in configuring your ADS RFC connection.
    Go the transaction SM59 ( Maintain RFC connection ) there search for RFC Destination ADS of type G and test it.
    If it doesn't works fine then report to your IT guy.

    please help me to solve this issue as soon as possible

    Sounds like your iPhone was unofficially unlocked by hacking it. You need to call AppleCare, tell them you only want to know which cell carrier your iPhone is locked to and give them the model and serial number. Then contact that cell carrier and see what their official unlock policy is and if you qualify.

  • Unable to activate Creative Suite 2 in Windows 7?

    Unable to activate Creative Suite 2 in Windows 7.
    Error message states: "The serial number you provided is not valid.  Please check your serial number and re-enter it."  I do have an active serial number and when talking to the tech, he stated that it did activate but my computer shows it isn't valid?  I was told that Creative Suite 2 is not compatible with Windows 7.  The program is 4 years old and was very expensive.  I do not want to invest in a new upgrade so how do I solve my problem?

    For the love of....did you bother to even look one or two posts above or below this one?
    The same argument you use are just as invalid as they are in the other thread.

  • HT4623 I am unable to activate my 3gs after updating to ios 6.0.1

    I am unable to activate my 3gs iphone after updating its software from ios 5 to ios 6.0.1. It gives the message: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support."
    I have read many blogs on the same problem on different websites but could not solve this issue. I am quite disappointed.

    Yes that was but it was long time ago when it was jail broken.
    Is there any solution now that I can bring it on the working path again?

  • Unable to activate PI - Integration Directory Objects

    Hi Guys,
    i am unable to activate PI - Integration Directory Objects.
    when i'm trying to activate its taking too much time,then no response.
    can any one pls help me on how to resolve this issue.
    Thanks,
    Siva.

    Hi Siva,
    Check with your basis guys.
    In most cases, this is due to memory overflow error.  They should free the memory which some interface or logs is holding up.
    Most of these problems are solved by simply restart of the server.
    I strongly suspect that some log file might be growing which would have consumed all memory.
    Regards

    Probably because "latin-9" doesn't exist?

  • Unable to activate photoshop C3  as helpline is not answering,I have been ringing for two days..!

    I am having real problems contacting the adobe helpline to activate my software, I have been ringing for two days and its always engaged.. Unfortunately The motherboard on  my macbook pro failed ( and it was only just over two years old, so out of its warrenty)..
    Anyhow  I cannot therefore de-activate my photoshop software on my old computer, so therefore I am unable to activate on my new computer I just brought..
    It is so frustrating as i have all the discs infront of me, but I only have four days left now to use the software that I have paid for and own..
    Does anyone know of other phone numbers I could use, as the ones I have tried on this site are always engaged, I really can't afford to go out and purchase the software again.. Has anybody else come across this problem and how did you solve it..?
    In desperation

    Hi Wade,
    I thought when I received your email it was somebody directly from adobe trying to help me...! indeed it was not a wise thing to do. I have deleted the post..
    With the greatest respect I have tried calling quite a few numbers and at different times and if you have read other posts on this forum you will see that they have had similiar problems to me..
    Anyhow I have had a nice email from Tracey an adobe person and hopefully she will be able to help me out.
    Thanks again for your suggestion of an alternative number..

  • HT4623 Unable to activate my iphone - 'activation server is temporarily unavailable'.

    Hi All,
    I updated to IOS 6.1.2 which has been a total diaster. I am regulary losing signal, baterry life and more importantly the service from my provider - 'Searching' keeps appearing.
    I have reset my phone via itunes four times over the last three days. Now I have unable to activate my phone. Any ideas how to solve this problem?
    Many thanks,
    Dal.

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
